Against WVU. In basketball KU owns the refs. You watch, they won't go 12 minutes without a foul today. You think if KU goes to the rim at the end like James and gets fouled twice it will be called? You think if a player like Spangs takes a guaranteed charge it won't be called right. I promise KU people have talked to the league officials since last night and the refs will call it differently today - count on it
Refs WILL call all the fouls today...

Log off. Calm down. Enjoy the spring or spend some time with people who bring you joy.
The game is over. We lost. We played pretty badly for most of the game, we're dominated on the boards, and turned the ball over far too often. We didn't deserve to win and West Virginia, despite the whining of too many on this board, is a really good team. Hopefully we'll play better over the next few weeks.

We were outrebounded by one board.
Is that your bipolar sides coming out in 2 short paragraphs? :ez-laugh:

I watched quite a bit of the KU/WVU game in Morgantown. KU was abysmal. I didn't get to see their game in Lawrence. But, I would bet good money that the first foul on a WVU player will be much earlier today than it was in last night's game.

I'm with you (and the OP). We definitely should have played better against the press last night, but the refs were enablers for WVU. Somehow, I don't see that happening against KU.
I'm reminded of the late traveling call on Cousins when he had two guys collapsed on him and clearly fouling him -- one of them even went to the ground on the play, so entangled with Cousins was he. No way a call like that goes against KU in the last two minutes.
I predict KU will be shooting the bonus in about 8 minutes.

With 11:58 minutes to go in the game, they have already called 15 fouls on WVU and KU is in the bonus.
Like clock work..we need to blow this conference up like yesterday.
Number of fouls called is not a good indicatior of equitable officiating. KU draws more fouls over the past decade(s) than other teams because they have far superior players. Far superior players are faster, stronger, bigger, and better than their opponents. When you are faster, stronger, bigger, and better consistently than your opponents you tend to have to foul less to stop them and get fouled more when they try to stop you.
There is no conspiracy.
And officials also have subconscious bias. Hence the home/road discrepancy.
Agree to disagree. I have watched many, many of ku's games because my wife's a fan. They get special treatment in this conference, and it isn't because they are that much better. When they go to the NCAA tournament and they don't get the same treatment, they get faroukmaneshed and bucknelld more often than any other "elite" team. They have a really good program, coach, and talent, but they are the beneficiaries of bogus calls more consistently than any other conference foe.
